Hello there. thank you for choosing health magic. i can see that you are suffering from a lot of anxiety. All your symptoms may be a result of anxiety. But it is advisable to rule out any cardiac causes. i would advise you to get an EKG done to rule out arrythmia. If your EKG is normal then you would be requires to take some tranquillizers to reduce your anxiety. But these are prescription drugs which are habit forming so I would suggest you to discuss it with your physician. I hope I was able to answer your question.
